Prepare for Crypto-Key Updating (Upgrade)
Each time the VMS software is upgraded to a new version, the Vipersat USB
Crypto-Key must be updated in order for the VMS to run on the server. An
update utility, vms-key-update.exe, is used for this purpose and is obtained by
contacting Vipersat CTAC (“Contact Information”). The following information
will be required:
• Key Serial Number
• Key Licensing
Both of these items can be obtained from ViperView using the following
method:
1. Click on the Server icon in the menu bar and select Properties, as shown in
figure 2-8.
2. The serial number is listed in the Properties dialog that opens. Record this
number, or capture it as a screen shot graphic, then close the window.
